Back to now and its 18:45 at the Canterlot University Football Grounds.
"I knew they had this in the bag!" Shouted Flash as he ate his hot dog and watched the game, Canterlot University was up by 28 to 10 in the last few minutes.
"Well Sunset Shimmer and Rainbow Dash are on fire." Timber Spruce added.
"Yep, and looking at Pinkie Pie and her cheerleaders, they are really going all out." Smiled Rarity as she looked towards the cheerleaders squad that was twice as loud as the visitors and Pinkie Pie had ponied up, creating pink explosions in the air while the other cheerleaders where trying to figure out how the trick was done.
"Hehehe I bet they don't see that everyday." Applejack laughed.
"Bring on the after party!" Shouted Gloriosa as she whistled watching Rainbow Dash throw a touchdown pass. The crowd went nuts.
Canterlot Wondercolts Fraternity House.
"I'm sorry I have to talk to you guys about this right now...but it's more serious than I previously stated." Ponyville Twilight Sparkle said as she looked at her circle of friends in the living room of Flash's fraternity house.
"C'mon Twilight don't worry about it, just give it to us straight..." Sunset Shimmer responded.
"Well Sunset, I know you'll have knowledge of this...I'm mainly trying to keep everyone else calm." She explained a little flustered.
"Okay darling, now you're starting to worry me." Said Rarity as she adjusted her seating.
"It's about the pony coming over to help you....his name is Stone Hammer...." Princess Twilight paused to see Sunset Shimmer's reaction.
"Stone Hammer...." She froze for a second. "You mean THE Stone Hammer, as in the Destroyer of Titans...That Stone Hammer!?" Sunset Shimmer proved to Princess Twilight that she had been more than deserving the title of Princess Celestia's most priced pupil... to be honest Princess Twilight had always thought of Sunset Shimmer as a better student than her.
"Yes...and I can tell you now...he is a site to behold in our world....he is..." Princess Twilight was interrupted by Pinkie Pie.
"Reallyreally tall, made of stone and has a green grass mane...massive explosive energies emanate from him in cycles and he is incredibly dangerous." Pinkie Pie speed talked as everyone looked at her awestruck and confused.
"Pinkie Pie I don't...." Rainbow Dash started but Princess Twilight added. "No that's about right." Sunset Shimmer leaned over and kissed Pinkie Pie's cheek.
"I'll never get over how you do that honey..." Smiled Sunset Shimmer as Pinkie Pie seemed pleased with herself.
"Do what?" Pinkie Pie said distracted.
"He is unstable in our world, but Princess Celestia thinks once he crosses over to your world, the laws of magic will cure him...since magic requires a specific catalyst in order to work here." Explained Princess Twilight.
"Ah yes, that makes perfect sense...like us, he would have to find what makes him create magic in order to project it." Said Twilight Sparkle.
"Exactly...but since he is from a different stage of our evolution we don't..." Princess Twilight continued.
"...Know what he will look like once he crosses over...." Twilight Sparkle added excited.
"Erm...sweety, can you guys stop double teaming an explanation please...its getting creepy again..." Timber Spruce smiled at his Twilight Sparkle who blushed.
"Oh...sorry hehe...please Princess continue." Said Twilight Sparkle as she sat back on her chair.
"Hehehe thanks....it does still feel a little strange when we sync." Said Princess Twilight as she continued. "Well anyways...he is a huge difference from us, stands nearly a whole head above Shinning Armour...and he is considered tall by our standards....the difference in his skin and hair is also worrying coming over the portal." She added.
"Hmm...well I guess we will have to wait and see." Added Sunset Shimmer.
Equestria Ice Garden Prison next day.
"Okay Discord please be ready to teleport us to Princess Twilight's portal." Fluttershy told Discord as he stood next to her in his usual happy unpredictable state.
"You can trust me this time Fluttershy...I am actually looking forwards to this more than anything in a long long time." He said as she rubbed his hands together.
They all stood outside the black door for a while now, suddenly the whole castle shook for around fifteen seconds, the air became heave and it felt like all the happiness had been taken from the world.
"What was that!?" Asked Applejack. "I've never felt so sad in my life." she looked at Shinning Armour.
"That was our cue to move in!" He ordered as he opened the door and began to chant an incantation, within seconds Stone Hammer shuddered and looked straight at Shinning Armour with a menacing look, his eyes solid jade.
"If you got a plan...use it now or he's gonna kill you." Discord smiled but was also a little taken aback by Stone Hammer who stamped his right hoof twice.
"Who are ye small...ponies?" He boomed. "Ye stand face to face with the Throne Of Elements Leader! Speak before I make you regret capturing me!" He took a step forwards.
"Mighty Stone Hammer, I am Shinning Armour leader of Princess Celestia's Royal Honor guard." He held a piece of parchment up with magic and made it move towards Stone Hammer. "This has the Royal Symbol on it...Shinning Armour it is an honor to meet and Royal Guard." He boomed and bowed slightly.
"You honor me Shaman." Replied Shinning Armour. "But we must move fast, your final fight with the Titans left you injured and you cannot control your power." Stone Hammer raised his eyebrows.
"Where we triumphant? Where is my team...is Diamond Razor okay..." Stone Hammer looked a little vulnerable for just an instance.
"Team?...no Shaman...there is no one left but you...we never found anypony else." Shinning Armour tried to explain.
"What?...why are ye so small...what elements does thou live by..." Stone Hammer seemed to be getting more confused by the minute.
"Sir..." Fluttershy walked up to him from behind Shinning Armour. "I'm Fluttershy....and you have been asleep for over forty thousand years, sir...we have very little history of you and until just now only knew of yourself and the Titans to be involved in the great Cataclysm. Please come with us and we will explain as much as we can once you're in a safe place." She said gently. "Princess Twilight will be honored to get you up to speed."
"Ah...a life elemental...your presence is soothing child, and your words always be true." He look down at the terrified Fluttershy. "I will agree with ye...I can feel one's power is unstable, so I will follow ye lead to safety."
"Guess it's my turn to shine." Discord stepped forwards to be met by Stone Hammer's piercing gaze.
"What manner of creature be ye!" Stone Hammer looked at Discord confused. "One can see the power emanating from your aura...it's old magic."
"Yes, well I belong to your world...I guess you could say you created me..." Discord smiled.
"One has no knowledge of creating such a abomination...but One will cure you of your instabilities." Said Stone Hammer as he shot ray of green life magic to Discord and within a second Discord was a full fledged dragon, all his parts the same dark grey.
"Oh wow..." Fluttershy looked taken aback as Discord looked at himself and squealed a little out of character.
"Well that isn't natural..." Snickered Rarity.
"Is it me or does Discord look stranger like this than before." Rainbow Dash joked.
"Mr Hammer!...please return my friend to what he looked like before!" Fluttershy stepped in and puffed herself up trying to be brave.
"Of course child...." Stone Hammer seemed confused. "One was merely trying to help the deformed beast." He changed Discord back to his usual disjointed...whatever he was.
"Thank you Shaman!" Discord bowed quickly. "I will know perform a teleportation ritual to safety."
"Ye may continue you poor deformed creature." Stone Hammer said as Rainbow Dash and Rarity snickered.
"Erm...Discord will do fine thank you Shaman." Discord announced politely and offended.
"Once we go through this portal you will need to take a different portal to see our Princess Twilight Sparkle...she will explain why we woke you." Explained Shinning Armour.
"The Titans have returned...this would be the only rational explanation, one is ready to do whatever my Royal Highness expect from me...my life is his." He said as a matter of fact.
"She's a her..." Said Pinkie Pie as she popped out from behind the group.
"As it may be...time has passed...and one accepts that everything has changed." He looked so strong with resolve. "A laughter sprite...this is a strange team that greets me today." He looked around.
"What do you mean?" Applejack stepped forwards confused.
"Ye all belong to bloodlines of both one's Shaman brothers and sisters and the royals themselves....yet ye seem surprise by one's statement." He looked at Applejack.
"Well ye be a fellow shaman...an earth elemental." He looked at a glad Applejack then he turned to Rainbow Dash. "A wind elemental..." Rainbow Dash smiled proudly.
"Makes perfect sense...I'am awesomely fast." Rainbow Dash flew in a quick circle.
"Aye ye be fast...also not modest at all." Smiled Stone Hammer as Rainbow Dash deflated a little with a giggle. "Ye...young dame be a crystal sprite..." He looked at Rarity who blushed a little.
"Oh my...what a sweet talker." Rarity smiled at Rainbow Dash.
"But enough pleasantries all...we must move along and be on our way..." Smiled Discord and summoned the portal that teleported them all to Princess Twilight's laboratory.
